commit 3d7a850fdc1a2e4d2adbc95cc0fc962974725e88 upstream. The current approach to read first 6 bytes from the response and then tail of the response, can cause the 2nd memcpy_fromio() to do an unaligned read (e.g. read 32-bit word from address aligned to a 16-bits), depending on how memcpy_fromio() is implemented. If this happens, the read will fail and the memory controller will fill the read with 1's. This was triggered by 170d13ca3a2f, which should be probably refined to check and react to the address alignment. Before that commit, on x86 memcpy_fromio() turned out to be memcpy(). By a luck GCC has done the right thing (from tpm_crb's perspective) for us so far, but we should not rely on that. Thus, it makes sense to fix this also in tpm_crb, not least because the fix can be then backported to stable kernels and make them more robust when compiled in differing environments.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
